There are a variety of recipes you can use to help you plan how to reduce food waste. One we love is from our favourite chef Guy Grossi – Panzanella salad.

We hope you enjoy this delicious salad by Celebrity Chef Guy Grossi using ingredients that are a few days old!

Ingredients
1- loaf of sourdough bread- pref a few days old
500 grams heirloom tomatoes
1 garlic clover (locally grown is always best)
1/2 red onion finely diced
8 Basil Leaves
Extra Virgin olive oil
A good balsamic Vinegar
Sea sale, cracked pepper

Method
Remove
the crust from the sour dough (best is if the bread is old before it goes off)
and cut into blocks 4cm x 8cm. Cling wrap and freeze overnight.

Pre-heat
oven to 170C. Slice the frozen bread on a slicer or mandolin thinly and place
between 2 baking trays so that they cook flat, like crackers. Bake for 10
minutes until golden. Allow to cool.

Cut
the tomatoes into wedges and place into a bowl. Slice the garlic thinly and add
to the tomatoes along with the onion and torn basil leaves. Season with salt
and pepper drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil and toss together.

Arrange
the tomatoes on plates with the toasted bread and finish with the balsamic
vinegar. Guy uses Balsamico Traditionale from Modena.

Serves 4.

• Do a 1000 – piece jigsaw puzzle of a hand-drawn map of Melbourne: The Melbourne Map is an art print that took over four years and more than 8,000 hours of research, design and illustration to put together. That hand-drawn map has now been turned into a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle that lets you experience life once again on Melbourne’s streets, albeit vicariously. The map the puzzle depicts is the work of founder and producer Melinda Clarke, who worked with three illustrators (Lewis Brownlie, Deborah Young and Sean Rodwell) to create the intricate artwork. https://www.timeout.com/melbourne/news/you-can-do-a-1-000-piece-jigsaw-puzzle-of-a-hand-drawn-map-of-melbourne-032720

Why not still do an easter egg hunt at home, cook up a storm, bring out some board games or even do a puzzle! We hope you enjoy our selection of ideas!

Cooking:
Easter biscuits Loaded with Malteser’s Mini Bunnies, Galaxy Golden Eggs and M&M’s Eggs, these easy biscuits make a fun Easter baking project for the whole family. Here is the full recipe for this;

Get creative with Easter decorations!
Better Homes and Gardens has a great article on how to make the best Easter eggs at home with loved ones; https://www.bhg.com/holidays/easter/eggs/quick-and-easy-easter-egg-decorations/

Easter egg hunt at home!

1. Make it interactive They might not be able to run around in the grass, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get them to expend some of their boundless energy during their egg search. Print out these directions, slip them inside the eggs, and, every time a hunter finds one, they have to do the action inside. After all the mooing and hopping, they’ll be ready for a nap.
2. Hunt in the dark Close the curtains tight — or wait until nighttime — and let the colourful glow guide the little scouts. You can either buy glow-in-the-dark plastic eggs (these are lit by batteries, so you don’t have to worry about charging them in the sun), or you can use DIY glow-in-the-dark dye on real eggs.
3. Leave clues Instead of leaving a ton of eggs all over every nook and cranny of your apartment, you can carefully hide a few of them, and then offer a trail of clues that’ll help kids find them. It combines the fun of a an egg hunt with the thrill of a scavenger hunt. And, for the design-challenged, you can even buy pre-made clue cards on Etsy.

We’d love to hear what you plan for this Easter ?
Happy Easter from all of us at Silver Service Real Estate xx stay safe and take care xx
